IT Schools Africa

Our mission is to transform IT education in Africa. We collect used computers in the UK, refurbish them and distribute them at a low cost to schools in Africa. The computers enable the schools to provide their pupils with the essential IT skills they need to go on to further education and access better paid jobs.

We have sent over 40,000 computers to Africa, equipping over 1,500 schools with their first computers. We operate programmes in Kenya, Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe, in addition we have supported schools in Ghana, Niger and Sierra Leone.

Our UK Programme operates computer refurbishment workshops in five prisons and works with employment agencies and other charities, helping to support and train people currently out of work.
